Our prices are inclusive of all expenses (with an electricity allowance of €100pw). Guests have the right to ask to read meters with us, in the absence of which our staff's readings will be final. If you request the jacuzzi to be operational for your stay, we will turn it on approx 3 days before your arrival, to give it time to warm up), and read the electricity meter at this point. Use of the jacuzzi and or a/c is likely to mean that you will significantly exceed your €100 per week allowance; the same is likely if you are a large group (i.e. a large group); by confirming your reservation with us you authorise us to deduct the excess electricity costs (@ €22.5 cents per unit) from your security deposit with VRBO.

If, during your stay, more different people than stated during the reservation process stay overnight, we will charge you for the additional amount, by deduction from the security deposit.

RESIDENTS' CHARTER

Please note that by confirming a reservation with us, you confirm that agree to comply with the Residents' Charter of our local community, as set out below:

"The purpose of this document is to define standards of neighbourly behaviour expected of residents, their guests and tenants.

We live in, for Marbella, an exceptionally quiet, rustic and beautiful location, with gardens adjoining a reserve of natural wild ‘campo’ that lies between our houses and the Marbella Golf golf course and outstanding views. We wish to preserve this environment to allow all residents, and those who temporarily enjoy our community by visiting or staying at our houses, peaceful enjoyment of our location.

Accordingly, we have defined the following standards as appropriate for our community:

• No music or other noise (including noise from swimming pools) should be audible to a level at which it disturbs our neighbours outside the boundaries of our individual properties during hours of darkness. (The preference is for no such music or noise between 8pm and 9am but certainly not between 11pm and 7am)

• No barbeques (nor other devices which produce significant amounts of smoke or fumes) should be used in a way such as to allow smoke to interrupt neighbours’ reasonable enjoyment of their properties.

• No barbeques (nor other devices involving the use of a naked flame) should be used during the period May to September inclusive, nor thereafter until the first heavy rain of the autumn has fallen – the fire risk is too great.

• If residents, guests or tenants wish to adopt practices involving nudity (e.g. sunbathing), this should be done out of the direct sight of their neighbours’ properties.

• If residents have pets, they should be restricted within the bounds of their own properties. Guests and tenants are not permitted to bring pets.

• Ideally, cars must be parked inside the gates of individual properties or otherwise in a way not to impede the safe passage of pedestrians and other vehicles to the properties.

• As a general principle, residents, their guests and their tenants should always respect the peace and privacy of their neighbours within our community."

The views, rustic peace and charm, spacious villa with huge garden, all within close proximity to the centre of Marbella & Puerto Banús.

What makes this Villa unique

The view from the Blue Bedroom, with its huge balcony and widespread views of mountains, Mediterranean and distant Morocco, is what sold the property to me. I have written 5 books primarily at a desk in this room.

The property is within 5 minutes drive of the best beaches in Marbella, without the need to drive along the coastal highway.

Resort

Marbella is famous as a resort in its own right.

Rural

The property adjoins an olive grove, and is in a remarkably rustic location given its close proximity to central Marbella

Village

The property lies within the 'urbanizacion' (village) of El Rosario, which is almost completely comprised of villas with no high-rise properties and only two small apartment blocks.

Air Conditioning

Garage

Internet

Available throughout the villa, 20mps hi-speed satellite broadband system - UK based (despite being in Spain), so it provides UK material (e.g. BBC and SkyGo) even though not in the UK

Towels Provided

Towels (including pool towels) provided - we charge for laundry for contracts with rents of less than €3,000pw (pro rata); Frette and similar quality from our hotel linen supplier

The villa adjoins Marbella Golf Country Club's Robert Trent Jones Snr's championship golf course, and there are some 50 other courses within an hour's drive.

Suitability

wheelchair accessible

Not ideal, but we have had wheelchair guests in the past: there is a path from the parking area (briefly steep in one place) that links the lower floor to the main floor. The Grey Bedroom is on the main floor and there is an (open) shower poolside, so, once there, one could just about live all on the one level. The door widths are: entrance doors 75cm, bedroom doors 65cm and bathrooms 55cm.

Long-term Renters Welcome

smoking allowed

Outside only; not in areas with fire risk.

Pool / Spa

Private Pool

Our 10 x 5m swimming pool is secured by gates, walls and hedges. It is not normally heated, but Marbella's climate means that it is generally possible to swim from May through October.

Hot Tub

Our 8 seated jacuzzi is a very popular feature; enjoying it to the sight of romantic sunsets and cocktails.

I really had the most fantastic time, the villa was lovely and secluded but had all the shops I needed a short 5 min journey away. The views were stunning and my room and bed were extremely comfortable. I can't wait to come again.
